Our aim is to provide quality care and education for all children at our Centre.

We ensure that children are kept safe from harm, and we promote well-being through consistent, warm relationships which connect various aspects of the world.

We ensure that children are supported in building resilience and a sense of self-worth as we want them to grow as competent, resilient, and caring person who can face difficult situations and succeed.

We ensure that children are treated equally irrespective of gender, ability, age, ethnicity, or background. We respect diverse cultures from which our children, teachers and whanau come from, and we acknowledge this by encouraging children in communicating in home languages, celebrating special cultural events, and engaging in day-to-day activities that will support their culture. Through this we aim to help children grow in their early years, become confident in themselves and in their cultures.

We ensure that children are provided with ample resources that will provide rich learning experience to children. Infants will be provided with a variety of playthings that can feel and explore.

We ensure that we support migrants in their kid’s settlement and learning journey. We work collaboratively in partnership with parents and children to build a community of learners. As educators we build opportunities for social interactions with adults and other children and respect the aspirations of the children’s family and community.

We ensure that children are provided with sensory experiences, specifically those with sensory priority difficulties for children with autism and ADHD.

We acknowledge our bi-cultural heritage and honour the principle of Te Tiriti O Waitangi. We work in partnership with children and whanau to ensure that there are equitable opportunities for participation.

We believe that a smooth transition to school is crucial for children. We ensure that children are provided enriching activities and experiences that allow them to develop important skills by the time they start school.
